ok so the strain is mango
currently in 5th week of veg
using just ff grow big and some b1 vitimins and a little hygrozyme
lighting with 1 400 wt hps and 1 250 hps
was trying to grow this plant for clones because i grew it from a seedling and wanted to keep its bud alive but it seems that the plant is going well past the point of preflowering. I have grown in the past but have never tried keeping a plant for clones so im kind of in uncharted territory i know that some strains like lowryder can auto flower. so im just curious am i panicing and these are just some massive preflowers or am i correct in my beliefe that this mango plant is gonna bud weather i like it or not.. helpfull feedback is the factor on my next move im leaning towards just taking a few cutlings and then just flowering this plant and hope that i can continue this strain in the future clones.

Your plant is definately flowering. What kind of light cycle do you have going? If it's 18+ hours of light a day and that is happening you have an autoflower strain. It's not just shortriders that are auto. There are dozens and dozens of auto strains out now.

where did you get the seeds?

You can't really clone an auto, well you can but it will only grow from age it was cloned at. As they auto flower they have a life span of around 60-70 days only.

Lower that cycle o 20-4 and you will see some better growth.
